Hi HakiPro and welcome.

Date and Time are not displayed during recording but the information is saved to the recording media and can be displayed during playback: -

What Video Editing Software do you use? Most software will allow you to add the date and time stamp to the finished video as an overlay.

If your video editor does not have this feature, you can get a free trial download of VisualDV Time Stamp here: -

Ok. I have another problem. You know when I transfer video files from my handycam to the PC. When I transfered, then watching videos, but they don't have date on it. I opened with Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player, but just not appear the date. Do you know how can I enable date, when watching video files on PC?

I can only see the date on the handycam.
